No, the only forms of the vaccine are for use as IM (intramuscular) injections or as intra-nasal mists.

What if you got a flu shot by IV injection?

It could be a serious medication error. You should report it immediately to the management of the business where the vaccine was given by this improper technique and ask your health care professional/doctor if you should receive any examination or specific treatment as a result of the error. There are no flu vaccine formulations approved for use by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the US that are made for IV administration, as of the 2012-2013 flu season. There is also a federal US organization to report this kind of problem yourself (or your doctor can report it) when vaccination mishaps and errors or adverse reactions occur. It is called VAERS, Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System and is maintained by the US HHS (Health and Human Services). See the related link on this page to the VAERS website.

What are intravenous vaccines?

It depends on the type of vaccine that gets introduced into the blood and circulatory system by the intravenous (IV) route. Vaccines are typically not intended for that method of administration. It could be a serious complication if the medicine has been given by an incorrect route. If you believe this has happened, you should contact a medical professional for advice in your specific circumstances without delay. The flu vaccines are not intended for this method of delivery and you should seek urgent medical attention if that route was used for your influenza vaccine.

What is the difference between an injection that is given IM OR IV?

IM means Intramuscular route of drug administration, while IV means Intraveinal route of drug administration. IV route, takes the drug directly into the bloodstream resulting in 100% bioavailability instantly. Where as in IM route, drug is injected into muscle tissues, which holds the drug for a while and gradually releases into the bloodstream through the network bed of capillaries running across or surrounding the muscle tissue. In IM, the bioavailability may be slightly less than 100% of drug due to diffusion from muscle through tissue fluid and into the blood.


What if flu shot was not given in the muscle?

If it were given in the subcutaneous tissue, it will not hurt, but may not be effective or as effective. Ask your health care professional if you should have a second vaccination. Another vaccination would not hurt you, either. If it were given by any other method or administration route besides IM or SubQ, you should contact your health care professional right away for advice on whether you are fully protected now, and if the administration of the drug the wrong way would have caused any untoward effect that needs treatment (this is especially true if this was somehow given IV). You would also want to report the medication administration error to your health care professional or pharmacist so they can take action to prevent further incorrect administrations of the vaccine by whomever gave it incorrectly, or advise you on how to report it to VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) in the US. VAERS tracks problems with vaccinations. See link below.
